The head person is in his 40s and had 20 years in the Army. What do people mean that Americans wont do this work? At a time of record immigration. we do not appreciate the scope of it. We already have the highest number of foreignborn individuals in American history. We are not against immigration. Immigration is a positive thingproperly conducted. Good people come into America. But we are at record levels both in total numbers and. in a few years. the highest percentage of foreignborn in America will be reached. and it will continue thereafter. So is it any wonder that 83 percent of the electorate wants immigration either frozen or reduced? The Republicanled Congress is about to deliver the President a fourfold increase in one of the most controversial foreign worker programs we have. In fact. it is a much larger version of a proposal that was contained in the Gang of 8 comprehensive immigration bill that was rejected by the American people and the House of Representatives just 2 years ago. The result is higher unemployment and lower wages for Americans. The free market controlsmore labor. lower wage. more labor. less job opportunity. It is indisputable. The Economic Policy Institute has noted: "Wages were stagnant or declining for workers in all of the top 15 H2B occupations between 2004 and 2014." and "unemployment rates increased in all but one of the top 15 H2B occupations between 2004 and 2014. and all 15 occupations averaged a very high unemployment rate . . . Flat and declining wages. coupled with such high unemployment rates over such a long period of time. suggests a loose labor market and an oversupply of workers rather than an under supply." I think that is a fact. Our free market friends ought to understand that.
